Chapter 301: Chapter 146 The Day of Falsehood_2

From these people, Ji Zhaoyang learned that the land beneath his feet was an overseas island. Despite several decades of sailors and cultivators exploring the ocean, no other continents were found.

The island contained a hundred kingdoms, and the Mu Kingdom, where he was, was one of them.

However, despite being called a “kingdom,” most could barely qualify as villages. The Mu Kingdom, able to construct cities, was one of the stronger kingdoms amongst the hundred.

At first, Ji Zhaoyang was relieved to find that the Human Clan on the island was weak, thus the disaster should not be too severe.

However, the reality struck him hard.

As the dull yellow Great Sun sets in the sky, an enormous number of demons begin to emerge within and around the city at dusk. The sheer number startled Ji Zhaoyang.

According to the King of the Mu Kingdom, the majority of the demons avoid areas inhabited by humans and there are only a few of them that appear in cities and villages.

In the abandoned villages and wilderness, countless demons congregated, almost forming a ghostly miasma.

If it weren’t for these demons only appearing at dusk, the Human Clan on the island would have been annihilated by them long ago.

A small comfort to Ji Zhaoyang was that these demons were not powerful. Most of them had barely reached the Essence Refining Stage, so even ordinary people could kill them if they combined their forces.

Ji Zhaoyang had initially thought that his trial would be about eliminating these demons until he saw the enormous Spider Foot that loomed like a pillar of the sky.

After that attack, Ji Zhaoyang was completely disillusioned about suppressing demons through force.

“Such a disaster is beyond human power. Could the Earth Gate be a sure-death situation?”

Ji Zhaoyang’s thoughts surged, his expression becoming increasingly grim.

At that moment, the King of the Mu Kingdom noticed Ji Zhaoyang’s change in expression and quietly said:

“Ever since I was born, this world has been this way.

After daylight comes dusk, demons wreak havoc causing countless deaths, and one by one, countries are obliterated, and the living space of the Human Clan is constantly being squeezed.”

“However, it is said that in ancient times, there was no day or dusk in this world, and there were not so many demons.

But for reasons unknown, the sun in the sky stopped setting, and there was no nightfall on the ground. The wandering souls of the departed had nowhere to go and roamed the earth, turning into the malicious spirits that wreak havoc today.”

The words of the King of the Mu Kingdom caused Ji Zhaoyang’s expression to change dramatically.

“The imbalance between life and death, the disorder in the cycle of reincarnation? Could all this be caused by the setting Great Sun?”

Ji Zhaoyang inadvertently glanced at the Great Sun in the sky, which radiated a chilling light, and vaguely saw a giant eye gazing at the world.

“Crack!”

The dragon-shaped jade talisman around his waist shattered abruptly. Realizing terror contained within it, Ji Zhaoyang quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at it again.

“Today’s world indeed has a major problem!”

“That demon seems to control this world, even replacing the role of the Great Sun. That is why we have the terrifying situation today.

If we can restore the orderly operation of the world, we may be able to weaken the demon and prevent it from unleashing such terrifying power.”

At this thought, Ji Zhaoyang suddenly remembered the Earth Gate Trial information that Shen Yuan mentioned, which included, “If it is impossible to suppress by force, then you can eliminate the disaster by leveraging the power of mountains and rivers.”

As the first one to break through the Earth Gate Trial, Shen Yuan’s words are highly valuable. The solution to the trial ultimately came down to two words.

Use leverage!

Ji Zhaoyang’s eyes lit up involuntarily.

“Mountains and rivers are power, and the prosperity of humanity is also a great force!

The hundred kingdoms here are in chaos, riddled with demons. If I can unify the hundred kingdoms and solidify the human dao, I will surely ease the disorder in heaven and earth, suppress the disaster of a hundred ghosts wandering at night, and weaken the demons!”

Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang immediately turned to the middle-aged man beside him.

As the Third Imperial Prince of the Great Yin Imperial Family, who might succeed the throne of the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor, he certainly won’t degrade himself to become a king of a hundred kingdoms.

Therefore, he needed to support a king in the name of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, allowing the king to unify the hundred kingdoms and integrate the Human Dao Fate.

Without a doubt, the obedient King of the Mu Kingdom was the best candidate.

After making up his mind, Ji Zhaoyang’s Storage Ring emitted a light, and a seal appeared in his hand.

The bright yellow seal was engraved with a flood dragon and bore the Human Dao Fate of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty. As soon as the seal appeared, the fragmented and dispersed Human Dao Fate seemed to have found its backbone and began to converge in this place.

Under the tremendous power of the Human Dao Fate, all the demon within a hundred miles were instantly obliterated.

In the sky above the Mu Kingdom, a phantom of an emperor wearing a dragon robe and a pearl-veil crown appeared.

Ji Zhaoyang paid respectful homage to the phantom emperor, and then the phantom descended into Ji Zhaoyang’s body. His aura changed instantly, as if it was connected to the Human Dao Fate of this world.

Then, with a solemn expression, Ji Zhaoyang turned to the King of the Mu Kingdom and said:

“I am the Third Imperial Prince of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty. During my travels in this world, I saw demons rampant and lives being devastated. I wish to pass on the method of the Human Dao Fate to rectify the power of heaven and earth.

Are you willing to be the king of the hundred kingdoms?”

The King of the Mu Kingdom looked at Ji Zhaoyang, who was holding the seal, with shock on his face before slowly kneeling to the ground.
